This week our topic is Summer holidays. We will learn about a typical sea side holiday. We will be exploring seaside holidays from the past and comparing them with holidays now.

This week the children will be recapping the phonics they have learnt. The children have made excellent progress. We won’t be sending reading books home this week but the children can do the online learning if they wish.

In maths this week we will be doing a variety of fun summer themed maths activities. They will recap all the maths skills they have learnt this year.

We have lots of fun activities planned this week. On Wednesday we will be having a party day. In the afternoon we will be having a picnic. Please could you provide your child with a named small plate of snacks (not sandwiches) We will also be having ice cream so can you please let us know if your child is not allowed ice cream.

On Monday end of year reports will be going out and on Thursday the children will be sent home with their exercise books from this year.

Have a lovely last week of term.

This week we will be linking a pirate theme to getting ready for our new classes in year one. We will be discussing our feelings about starting in year one and familiarising ourselves with our new classroom and environment. We will be drawing maps of how to get to our new classes, drawing our own pirate maps and following maps to find the buried treasure! Please ask your child who their new Teacher is and discuss any worries with them.

In maths this week we will be learning to tell the time in O’clock and half past the hour. We will be using money to recognise coins up to 10p and learning how to count coins to buy items of amounts up to 10p. We will also be recapping positional language. Can your child count around the clock and say O’clock times?

In phonics this week we will be assessing the children’s progress from this term ready for their new groups in September. The children all work incredibly hard in their phonics lessons so we are excited to see their results. Please continue to support your child by reading at home and completing their online homework.

This week we will be making musical instruments. A letter will be going home to request that your child designs their instrument and if you can also provide the resources for them to make them in school. Please bring these in a named carrier bag.

On Monday the children will be meeting their new teachers. They will spend some time in their new classes getting to know their new Teacher.

Thank you for your continued support.
